Torx 20 screw in back of headlight - does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Hello - today I replaced the HID bulb on my 05 Acura TL. For the most part, it went well except I dropped and cannot find the T20 screw that holds the cover on in the back of the headlight assembly. This is a very small crew that requires a torx 20 security bit to remove.

Does anyone know the part number for this screw or where I can get a replacement?

Thank you!

Why even bother replacing it? The cap holds itself in place just fine without that screw.

All that screw does is add a extra unnecessary step just to get to the bulb.

Had no torx screw in both my headlights for 3 years without a problem. It's one of those unnecessary things that I can live without

I am happy to hear it! The cover seemed pretty tight without the screw anyway! $12 for the replacement screw seems pricey...
